Apartments

[Bixillarla]

unless something drastic happens i don't see myself leaving my current fc ever at least for a very long time, if thats all apartments are going to be thats disappointing, they should have been bigger imo and offer something fc room with house doesnt. SE should have just spent there resources fixing the housing rather then apartments imo

Also not all FCs have a house. For those people apartments will fix that.

That is why I will never own an FC room until that loophole/exploit is corrected.

To the best of my knowledge that is actually fixed now (and has been for quite a while). When you go to leave an FC it should let you demolish the room without actually having to do it yourself. At least that's how I understand it.

why should someone, who already owns a house or is a fc member rent a single useless room?

you cant use them for gardening, airships, or anything else

Immersion, its what us rich players do (im not a crafter or gatherer I just farm primal drops) Just like how rich ppl own multiple houses in different states. I live in goblet, in a cozy medium house. Im going to get a apartment in the mist so I have a nice vacation home. Or I might set it up to be my raid/static office. Since my raid team is separate from my fc.

Can fix what isn't broken, its pretty obvious at this point housing is going to stay a limited resource. Even if the original concept was for everyone to have one, the end products design was released as a limited resource, which means that's how it was designed, so technically it isn't broke if that's how it was meant to be. And patch after patch they have proven that. Apartments was a smart move, because they can easily add more and more to it, and it gets a majority of the players wanting "personal space" to shush.

Except if you are kicked.

I was kicked out during a break as my FC chose to move their home to a larger size that opened in another city. I didn't return in time to reclaim my 2 million gil worth of furniture either.

So, while being in an FC with a house has the advantages of a cheaper room, advanced gardening, and airships, it's possible to lose everything in a ways that's out of your power.

Apartments allieviate this while also giving room accessibility to literally everyone.

Sorry, but I think you misunderstood. I was replying to the comment about how an FC leader could hold people hostage/stop them from being able to enter the house and demolish their room (and in turn stopping them from leaving the FC) and that (as far as I know) it has since been resolved and the person themselves can now just choose to leave an FC, demolishing the room at the same time.

Ah. I did misunderstand the context here. That's actually quite useful!

There's going to be plenty, and it will be mine, no conditional status hinging on my FC... Which I dont intend to leave any time soon, but the concept of it being truly my own sounds really nice. (I blew the gil on a fc room, and I have like, a portrait of Hildebrand and a bed in there.. thats it...

I'm happy that I can finally get a 1/3 of the housing feature, but what about farming and exploration with our built airships? Would be cool if they added 1 Airship for everyone to use/contribute too in the apartment complex. Some sort of community farming feature that everyone can use at the apartment would be nice too. A small indoor farming would work too, just enough space to make those house owners only minions. It would be way better than that aquarium thing which isn't a game play mechanic, but just more decoration.

Having one airship split between potentially 499 strangers all wanting something different when one voyage can take up to a week and bring back only a handful of items doesn't sound like a good idea. I believe everyone should have access to all the features present in the game without it being tied to their ability to get a house, but it needs to be on a per player basis.
